Wanker. Wanker wanker fuck. Rudy. Wanker.

Leave my boots alone!

Rudy! Wanker. Wanker fucker. Wanker pants. Wanker fuck. Wanker pants.

What are you saying?

Wanker pants.

Yes, I used the American spelling.

Fits my hypothesis that if you could translate bird speak, it'd be nothing but laughter and profanity.

Most bird-speaking-human-language is mimicry, but laughter and profanity are the 2 things any parrot can use in context. Can take months to teach a bird its name, but they'll learn to say "goddamnit" or "fuck" in context right quick.

Also, American spelling of what? I said "right quick" so we're even.

The bird's name is Rooney in the UK spelling.

Also, if there's one important lesson that we can take from this video, it's that "wanker pants" is a tag whose time has come.

I wish all animals could run around calling people wankers.

We deserve it.

They do. We just don't translate it, otherwise there'd be a lot more extinct species.

And a fine judge of character.

Farmers shoot them over here for no real reason, but give the excuse 'they eat song birds'. These guys are far more interesting, yet theyre one of the most hated british birds along with the seagull.

What weird voice? He sounds just like she does!

This was neat by itself but it made me think of the episode of home movies where Jason got a parakeet and that really made me laugh.

Where did you learn such language, Rudy?

Magpies may not speak as well as parrot birds, but GODDAMNED MAGPIES. They learn car alarms, police sirens, horns, dog barks, and would use all those in a John Cage symphony outside my window early in the morning.

Yeah I ended up stalking and sniping a few with my BB gun, hungover and in a bathrobe. I'm sorry, I didn't want to have to, but it seems the only sounds magpies cannot learn are the words "SHUT THE FUCK UP".
